User Review: Osprey Raincover

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $30

Summary

With a 65L Atmos Osprey, the Medium is ample big. Do not buy the large as vendors have Large for 65L. Only reason not 5 stars is no really drenching rain test yet.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Compact
  • Easy to re-stow in its envelope
  • Seems to provide adequate moisture protection
  • Size Medium fits 65L Atmos well

Cons

  • Unknown if any due to no savage-rain test yet

Main point here is about the fit. I went all over various sites and while vendors list the Large rain fly for the 65L and larger packs ... you'd make a BIG mistake (er ... pun intended ...) buying a large. The Medium fits very nice.  

See my review of the Crazy Creek Long Back Chair (for end-of-hike luxury and sleeping pad all in one) which the fly fits over together with a backup pair of water shoes tied to bottom of my Atmos 65 (photos included).

I've been in steady rains ... no wind/torrent apocalyptic rains yet -- and it's done perfectly. Easy/quick to put on, tie off, and quick-drying/easy to tuck back into its built-in storage pouch.
